Hello, My name is Jolanda and
I live in the Netherlands. I am a 23 year old creative and enthusiastic student
Interior Design at the art academy. For me scrapbooking is a way to relax and a
wonderful creative outlet besides my study. I make mostly lay-outs, but also
make cards every once in a while. I often work with watercolour paint and ink
to create the basis for my lay-outs. I especially love creating nice
compositions and finding the right colours and materials to create the perfect
lay-out. You can find more of my work at my blog: http://jolandascrapscreaties.blogspot.nl/

This
is my take on the May sketch. I found it a very nice and inspiring sketch to
work with.

The basis of my lay-out was made with watercolour paint and

stamps. I finished my lay-out with different kinds of embellishments.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

We so love the styling and design of this page! So fresh and gorgeous! ;-)

Our second Guest Designer is Emma Fryxelius...and here's a little about Emma.

My name is Emma Fryxelius and I live in Sweden. I started out as a card
maker 16 years ago, now-a-days I make mostly layouts, pocket scrapbooking and
mixed media. For me, it is the photo and the story that is most important when
I scrap. If they are in focus the layout will stay interesting throughout the
passing of time and the inevitable changes of trends and personal taste. The
colours is another thing of great importance to me, If they do not harmonize I
do not like my finished layout. I keep my layouts relatively simple but with an
attention to detail, and I love stamps and inks and masks. You are most welcome
to visit me at www.dorcasdetaljer.wordpress.com

This sketch was so inspiring and I made a layout about how my daughter
loves to help out with the dishes. The title translates: “Mummy’s little
helper”. It is not the best photo perhaps, but it tells a story that I want to
remember. Soon, my daughter will be all grown up, and will probably shun all
chores. ;-) Thank you Scrap Africa for having me as a Guest Designer!

We love the styling and super background of this page! The crocheted doilies and the sweet, sweet photo are perfect! ;-)
